NECK-YOKE RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,758, dated August 28, 1888.

Application filed March 15, 1888. Serial No. 267,203. (No mode-l.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it k nown that I, RANSOM K. BURT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Haddam, in the county of Washington and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necl -Yol e Rings for Poles of Vehicles, of which the following isa specification.

My invention has relation to improvements in pole-rings for neck-yokes; and it consistsin the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an edge view of the ring. Fig. 2 is a front side view. Fig. 3 shows a neck-yoke with rings applied to the pole or tongue of a vehicle. Fig. 4 shows the ring with neck-strap attached.

Referring to the drawings, the letter A designates an open ring, each end of which terminates in flat upright bars I), having on their upper ends a cross-bar, k. The two bars I) are connected by a bolt, 0, about midway of their lengths, and on which is mounted, between said bars 6, a roller, (Z, which is inclosed be tween the bars I) and k. By this construction of yoke-ring a space, K, is formed between the bar is and the upper surface of the roller. It also forms an offsetting space, f, between the lower surface of said roller and the ends of the bars I). A strap, r1, occupies the space f and ineloses the roller, and has its hearings on each side of the bar is and forms a support for the strap, whereby the roller is allowed ample space to revolve between said strap. The neck-yoke bar H has one of these rings encircling each end, and at the center is attached to a pole or tongue, I, ofa vehicle.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- A neck-yoke ring having upright bars I), with cross-bar k, the bolt 0, provided with roller (2, inclosed between the bars I) k, and said roller having on each side thereof spaces K J", as and for the purpose set forth. Y

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

RANSOM K. BURT.
